National Football Post's Russ Lande writes Syracuse WR Alec Lemon could develop into a starter in the NFL.

"A quicker than fast receiver, Lemon’s struggles getting separation deep and out running defenders to make big plays running after the catch will likely lead to him being a late round pick," Lande wrote. "When he reaches out and catches ball away from his body he shows excellent hands and has consistently made tough catches on off-target passes. A smart receiver, Lemon finds open spaces in coverage and uses hands well to create some separation. However, it is a big concern that he throttles down and takes so many steps getting in and out of his cuts as this will keep him from getting separation versus man coverage in the NFL. In the end, Lemon is not going to be a high draft pick, but if he can improve his ability to get in and out of his cuts quicker he could develop into a quality starting receiver."
